Now, in 2018, their production of the hilarious musical “Avenue Q” (Sesame Street- x rated) is smashing and equal to the quality of any of Chicago’s finest musical theater companies. Bravo to Joe Keefe and your staff for finding the cast and production people to bring this wonderful theatrical experience to your stage

Have you ever been to a show and at the end you weren’t quite sure if the actors deserved a standing ovation? That isn’t the case with “Avenue Q” now playing at the Metropolis Performing Arts Centre. The cast deserved every bit of the thunderous applause from the on their-feet capacity audience.

Reminiscent of that other famous Street where puppets live, this laugh-out­loud show explores the familiar theme of post­graduate malaise in an inventive way that is both nostalgic and hilariously incongruent.

Avenue Q" imparts personal, professional and financial lessons to young adults the way "Sesame Street" communicates cognitive and educational fundamentals to children: kindly, patiently, and with a surfeit of sly wit and merry tunes.

Avenue Q, presented by the Metropolis Performing Arts Centre, is a great way to spend the night with your favorite adult theatre companion. The show is hilariously ribald, high-energy and most definitely R-rated. Avenue Q exists in a parallel universe to Sesame Street, where muppets (human, monster and other) and humans live out life’s ups and downs together.
